Peacenik pathos

They're really, really, really sorry for invading Iraq. The Power Line bloggers are not amused. Tim Blair is.

I must say, these people are alien to me. I can't even imagine the weird pseudo-logic that makes them participate in stunts like this. Why apologize for something you didn't support? Just to draw attention to your own sanctimony?

Did any of them ever protest against Saddam and his wars and atrocities? What would they say to this Iraq?

Early on after 9/11, I decided that Arab peoples have been oppressed so long that they don't even understand the concept of having their own goals, hopes and plans. They've been told that everything is the will of Allah, in order to keep them docile, and they don't seem to understand the illogic of being judged by God when you are powerless to make any decisions. After seeing these photos, I'm not so sure that the American left isn't just as benighted. How did educational institutions produce such ignorance?
